Party Hats; All in a Row

There is a new set at The Alley Way Stamps called Wish Big that includes big and bold birthday images - absolutely perfect for paper piecing. I had this strange piece of paper in a 6x6 pad that I had no idea how to use - so I started stamping party hats!

Then I lined them all up in a row and added some Stickles on top for a festive card!!

I am playing along with this week's sketch at unscripted sketches. I love chevrons but I thought this row of hats gave the same zigzag appearance!!

Thank you SO much to all of you who have replied to my Michaels survey. I have SO much great information. By the time I am done with my marketing plan for my class, Michaels will want to hire me. Of course, they will need unlimited financing to make all of the changes that I am going to suggest that they make - but that's their problem!! I will be working on my report over the next two weeks - so if you have anything you want to add about Michaels (see yesterday's survey), I would love to hear from you!

Awesome, awesome, awesome. I love this card! The paper, the party hats, the colours, the pom-poms = winning combination! I ordered Wish Big and seeing this, I'm extra excited for it to arrive (still another week or so...). I feel a 'scrap-lift' urge coming on, so I hope you don't mind! Cute+++c

Oh my goodness...this is beyond clever Kim! It sure takes the guess work out of trying to find coordinating papers and also a great way to make use of 'strange' papers! I love it when crafters can look beyond the sketch and create something totally unique. It's great having you play along with our sketch this week at US.

About Me

I live in Parker, Colorado with my husband, two teen boys, a dog and two cats. I began my adult life as an insurance actuary. I was then blessed to be able to spend 15 years raising my boys during which time I discovered stamping! Now I have obtained a second college degree and have begun working as an accountant for my town. Being surrounded by men at home and being surrounded by numbers work, is it any wonder that I am passionately in love with creating cards - a rainbow of colors, glitter, ribbons and stamps, and a wonderful online community!?

COPIC CHARTS

I have made the decision to stop updating Copic charts - except for Stampin' Up. My Favorite Things and Taylored Expressions have their own charts available. I do not want to promise to keep Papertrey Ink up-to-date because all of their new colors are stock colors which already exist within MFT, TE or SSS and I don't have room to keep buying! I do have old charts available. If you want them, just email me (above) and I can send you a link.
